Ben Carson Talks About Terror Suspects and Truth Serum

Carson said, "I believe there are a number of ways to extract information, including some medical ways of putting people into a less-than conscious state, which allows information to be extracted." Carson explained that the average person might know this as "truth serum."

He referred to sodium amytal as a potential treatment. Carson went on to say, "There are ways where you decrease a person's conscious defenses, and they might be much more willing to give information. We've made some advances in that kind of science."
